January 21st – January 31st you will receive a FREE 5ml bottle of Peace & Calming essential oil blend from Young Living with your purchase of a Premium Starter Kit. I personally decided to add another FREEBIE, which is a 15ml bottle of Orange essential oil. This is in addition to the Essential Oil Starter Guide I send all new enrollees and access to our exclusive Oil Moxie website with oil information and resources. If you were ever on the fence about starting your oil journey, now is the time to enroll to take advantage of these FREE items! Everything you need to get started is in this kit.

Why Orange?

Let me tell you… Orange essential oil ALWAYS comes to the rescue for me! Not only does orange support health and wellness, but it also is a great pairing to many of the oils in the Premium Starter Kit. My favorite way to use Orange is when I’m not fond of the smell of another oil. For example, Purification’s aroma has never been my favorite, but I use this oil for SO many things. How do I cope with the smell? I add a drop of Orange essential oil! Orange’s scent is so lovely and, as you would expect, but BETTER. It is fresh, citrusy and has just the right amount of sweet. Need a great pick-me-up? Orange can come to the rescue! I just love everything about this oil. Click here to see what Young Living has to say about it.

Thank you,

Amy

Yes! You read that correctly! Young Living just announced two NEW essential oil blends this week, Peace & Calming II™ and Valor II™! These are not replacing the original Valor® and Peace & Calming® blends, they are just new formulations that offer the same great essential oil experience. Also, they will be more readily available and permanent additions to Young Living! Woohoo!

Peace & Calming ® and Valor® are favorites for many! They frequently are listed out-of-stock, because of an unpredicted heavy rainfall last season. Young Living only wants to provide the best, so in the meantime, they have introduced similar versions of these oils that offer the same benefits. I am so excited to try them! What’s even better is when Peace & Calming® and Valor® return, these will work together wonderfully!

This blend includes: Young Living’s exclusive Northern Lights Black Spruce and Idaho Blue Spruce essential oils as well as Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Vetiver, Cistus, Bergamot, Cassia, German Chamomile, Rosewood, Matricaria and Davana oils. It also includes the natural constituents linalol, alphapinene, camphene, and limonene.* The original Valor® contains: Spruce, Rosewood, Blue Tansy and Frankincense oils. The new oil blend still creates an uplifting and calming aroma.*

How do you order these new oils?

If you are already a member and on Essential Rewards (ER), you can order these oils with your accrued points and possibly get these for FREE. I know that is what I plan on doing!

Many people wrestle with restlessness and yearn for a peaceful night’s sleep. I am one of those people! Like many, I feel like crashing in the afternoon every single day, but as soon as I hit the bed at night, I am WIDE awake. Who can relate?! One of the many reasons I was excited to venture into using essential oils was to find a natural solution for sleep! There are many Young Living Essential Oils to aid with occasional sleeplessness.* They can be used aromatically, topically and as a dietary supplement.* Here I will explain what oils I use aromatically in a diffuser! These are just some of my favorites. What is so fun about essential oils is you can keep experimenting until you find what works best for you!

Check out my diffuser blends for sleep

What is RutaVala Essential Oil?

RutaVala is an essential oil blend made with Ruta, Lavender and Valerian essential oils. It is great for relaxing the mind and body and promoting sleep.* Diffused an hour before bedtime RutaVala can help ease any tension or stress.* What makes RutaVala more unique than the other oils used for sleep? It is already formulated and blended for you! Not only that, the refreshing scent is lovely! Many people even use it topically in Young Living’s Roll-On for an added effect or just as an everyday perfume.

Lavender and Peace & Calming

This is my favorite blend to use for bedtime. We sometimes diffuse both Lavender and Peace & Calming together or diffuse them individually as well. In almost all of these blends, you will see Lavender essential oil. In past blog posts, I have talked about Lavender being the “Swiss Army Knife” of essential oils, because you can literally use it for almost everything. Its most common use is for relaxation and sleep.* If you use “true” Lavender, such as Young Living’s Lavender Essential Oil, you will safely experience the real benefits of this oil.* To learn more about 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, check out my page – Why Choose Young Living?

Peace & Calming is an essential oil blend made with Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang and Patchouli. Peace & Calming has been a favorite in my house since my daughter was born. As you know, infants can wake up numerous times a night. Once we started using Peace & Calming, our nights have been way more peaceful.* This blend alone made us essential oil believers.

Lavender and Bergamot

We know Lavender is great for relaxing the mind and body, but why add Bergamot? It is used for hormonal support and adds a sweet citrus scent to the diffuser blend. Citrus oils can aid in relaxation as well, but they are excellent for uplifting moods!* This blend can help you go to sleep with a smile on your face. 😉

Frankincense and Vetiver

This blend is a personal favorite of mine. I use Frankincense daily in my diffuser necklace. Check out my blog post – Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace. Frankincense helps me with everyday stress and tension.* It can be used for so many other things, but for me, this is one of my favorites for that reason. I also love the stimulating aroma!

Many people use Vetiver aromatically and topically. According to Dr. Terry Friedmann, “this oil is one of the highest in sesquiterpenes and can be used to improve children’s behavior.”* “It is psychologically grounding, calming and stabilizing.”* On a side note, this oil is VERY thick, so do not be alarmed if you have never used it before. Sometimes adding a glass dropper to the bottle can make it easier for application.

So why these two together? It is just another option when I feel like changing things up. Like I said, I use Frankincense daily already, so as I sleep it is an added bonus. These oils work well together and have a fantastic aroma when combined.

Lavender, Cedarwood, Peace & Calming

Sometimes we add Cedarwood to the diffuser blend of Lavender and Peace & Calming. Why Cedarwood? It can add a different aroma to the mix. It has an outdoor, woodsy aroma. It is also known for its soothing and calming abilities when massaged topically with a carrier oil to the skin.* If it relaxes the body when used topically, it more than likely will relax the body when used aromatically.* Like I said, it’s all about experimentation with different combinations.

Lavender, Roman Chamomile and Vetiver

We now know Lavender and Vetiver are used for calming the mind and body and aiding in sleep.* Why add Roman Chamomile? Because, this is one of the most gentle of the essential oils and it is great for small children along with the oils, Lavender and Vetiver. This is a combination we would diffuse in our kids room for a restful nights sleep.*

Lavender, Vetiver, Valerian and Orange

Valerian is an essential oil in the RutaVala blend. According to Young Living, “Valerian has been clinically investigated for its relaxing properties. Researchers have pinpointed the sesquiterpenes, valerenic acid and valerone as the active constitutes that exert a calming and restorative effect on the central nervous system.”*

Orange is one of my favorite citrus oils. It is also a relaxant, but its citrus aroma also can uplift spirits and moods.* It can help the mind feel at peace and bring about a sense of happiness.* It is in the Peace & Calming blend as well. More importantly, it contains the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, which can assist in maintaining a healthy immune system.*

Lavender, Bergamot, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang

This combination is very similar to the Lavender and Peace & Calming diffuser blend, but with the added benefit of Bergamot. Patchouli and Ylang Ylang are a few of the oils in Peace & Calming. Bergamot gives this blend the citrus kick for uplifting moods, but also the extra relaxation properties for a better nights rest.

I realize many of these diffuser blends are similar, but sometimes the slight change in a recipe can make a difference in how you feel. Keep trying until you find something that works for you!

I feel like we have officially entered full-blown winter season, maybe because it looks like a blizzard outside here in the Midwest! Well, here I will tell you what Young Living Essential Oils my family has been diffusing like crazy! Here are what we believe to be “6 Winter Diffuser Musts!”

Immune Support

Thieves and ImmuPower are our musts for immune support. We usually alternate them during the winter months or as needed.

Thieves is an essential oil blend made up of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary. This blend is best known for its cleansing abilities and eliminating airborne bacteria. It is highly effective in supporting a healthy immune system and good health.*

For Thieves diffuse up to 10 minutes 3 times daily and for ImmuPower diffuse up to 30 minutes 3 times daily

Purify and Cleanse

Purification and Lemon are our musts to purify and cleanse the air. We combine both of these essential oils into our diffuser. Click on, “Homemade Air Freshener with Essential Oils,” to see another way we use this combination.

Purification is an essential oil blend made up of Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Melaleuca, Lavandin and Myrtle. It is best known for its ability to cleanse impurities from surroundings while deodorizing and neutralizing the air.*

Lemon is a powerful single essential oil. It is best known for its uplifting fresh aroma, its antioxidant and cleansing properties as well as its support for the nervous system.*

Diffuser Directions

Respiratory Comfort

R.C. and Raven are our musts for respiratory comfort. We alternate them during the winter months or as needed.

R.C. is an essential oil blend made up of Eucalyptus globulus, Myrtle, Marjoram, Pine, Eucalyptus radiata, Eucalyptus citriodora, Lavender, Cypress, Spruce and Peppermint. It is best known for its respiratory support especially during the cold winter months.*

Uplift and Refresh

Sometimes during those winter months, you need to uplift and refresh your mood and Joy and Lemon are our musts! Click on, “My Morning Routine with Essential Oils,” to see another way in which I personally use Joy daily.

Joy is an essential oil blend made up of Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Lemon, Coriander, Tangerine, Jasmine, Roman chamomile, Palmarosa and Rose. It is uplifting and refreshing for moods and inspires happiness all around. It is the perfect oil to diffuse for everyday stress or if you need a little more energy to get you through the day.* It’s also known to enhance romance and togetherness.*

Diffuser Directions

Add 5 drops each of Joy and Lemon to the diffuser

Blues Buster

Sometimes being stuck indoors for days on end during the winter months can make a person feel “blue.” We call this trio our, “Blues Buster.” Orange, Lavender and Frankincense in the diffuser are our musts!

Orange is a multi-purpose single essential oil. It is commonly known to support a healthy immune system, promote relaxation and positive emotions.*

Lavender is the most well-known single essential oil. It is the, “swiss army knife,” of essential oils. It is commonly used for relaxation and occasional sleeplessness. It also can reduce everyday stress of the mind and body.*

Frankincense is one of the oldest single essential oils. It is commonly used to increase spiritual awareness, calm and soothe the body and mind while providing support to the nervous system.*

Diffuser Directions

Add 4 drops each of Orange, Lavender and Frankincense to the diffuser

Fill the rest of the diffuser with distilled or purified water

Diffuse up to 1 hour 3 times daily

Relax and Sleep

Lavender and/or Peace & Calming are our musts to help us relax and sleep. We usually alternate them in the diffuser during the winter months or as needed.

Lavender as seen above is commonly used for relaxation and occasional sleeplessness.

Peace & Calming is an essential oil blend made up of Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli and Blue Tansy. Just as the name states, it is commonly known to help bring peace and calm to the mind and body. It is perfect to diffuse after a long day to help you wind down.
